The flip side is that if Ukraine has proven anything Russia isn’t the power it once was and it is time for the EU and UK to step up.
That also doesn’t end well for the US.

It may take decades, but allied countries may start quietly finding alternate sources for products and services they traditionally bought from the US. They're not stupid.
